2179 ÷ 85 
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 2179.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 85

On to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 217 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
85 can be fit into 217 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 170 away from 217, we end up with 47.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 479 / 85

Step 4:
85 can be fit into 479 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtracting 425 from 479 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 540 by 85, we get 6 and a remainder of 30.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25.6
Deduct 510 from 540 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 6:
If we divide 300 by 85, we get 3 and a remainder of 45.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25.63
If we subtract 255 from 300, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 7:
85 goes into 450 5 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25.635
Subtracting 425 from 450 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 8:
85 goes into 250 2 times with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 25.6352
Subtracting 170 from 250 leaves us with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
800 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25.63529
If we take 765 away from 800, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 350 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25.635294
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 340 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
100 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25.6352941
Deduct 85 from 100 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
85 can be fit into 150 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25.63529411
Subtracting 85 from 150 leaves us with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 25.63529411 with a balance of 6.5e-08.
